Regulating Campaign Spending in the Age of the Internet

Summary 

Government officials in the UK and the US have struggled to find effective ways to regulate campaign spending on the internet. The question of appropriate regulation is challenging,  both in practice and principle, and reformers in the US and the UK have faced surprisingly similar challenges despite the very different underlying regulatory approaches to taken by each nation. This seminar will discuss those challenges, and how each nation is addressing them.
